Relying on the Eye.


The INSTRUMENTATION of readers
who have been guided by the eye and
not by the ear are often funny enough.
A novelist of the town confessed re-
Gently that in all his boyhood he was
accustomed to read the word ''misled"
as if it were spelled "mizzled," and a
brother author who was present con-
fessed to the same error. A laugha-
bic instance of this was given the
other day in circulating library
where one of the readers of the ON
niverous kind in reading list of
titles came to the well-known name
"Coelebs in Search of Wife" She
regarded it thoughtfully for mo-
ment.
.'Cobells in Search of Wife" she
read. "ldon't remember that | ever
heard of that before"
She was evidently in spirit, if not in
body, related to the lady who inquired
for The Hatherway Gentleman" by
Miss Mulock. -B0Sto8 Courier.

They Had Big Feet.

Tennessee troops were the butt os
much joking among Union soldiers
during the war on the ground that they
never shut q door and had feet that
would astonish a Chicago girl. The
neglect to shut the doors was explained
by Tennesseans on the ground that
their climate was so salubrious that
they had no need of doors except as
luxuries. But they never quite got
over the story Yankee prisoner told
at Belle Isle about their big feet. 1T
was At Petersburg" was the prisoners
story, "that our brigade met Tennes-
see regiment and poured hot shot into
them for an hour. We knew we were
doing terrible execution, because we
could see their guns dropping out of
their hands. But somehow none of
them dropped over. Presently we
charged, and when we came up to their
line we found that what remained of il
were dead men. We had to knock
them over with the butts of our mus
ketS because their big feet wouldn't .ei
them fall down. "-NCtc York Tribune.

THE LAKE.

After the dam and dykes were COM
pleted the lake began to fill Foot by
foot it banked up against the dam, inch
by inch it crept up the green sloaping
hills on either side, and yard by yard it
flung its silvery waves backward toward
the old factory. A number of boat
carpenters had come to town and were
oyer-worked with filling orders for men
who purposed to enjoy the new order of
things. At last the lake was full to
the brim Beautifully it lay under the
early morning sun, grandly its wind
driven waves kissed the smiling hills,
and the green trees on the shore
clapped their hands in chorus with the
musical wash of the restless waters.
The lake was stocked with trout, bass,
pickerel and carp, and its surface was
dotted with row boats, miniature steam
ers, and pleasure boats of every descrip-
ton, while here and there, swan-like,
small sail boats rode gracefully over
submerged barb-wire fences and un-
slightly city refuse. The roar of the
shotgun awoke the echoes among the
hills; for myriads of wild ducks, geese,
looms and sandhill cranes were sporting
in the water and along the shore.
The factory was turned into boat
house. Elegant mansions, campers
cottages and summer hotels were built

THE DREAM.

One man said. 'Iet us build Lake. "
Another said, "All we need is aeater to
make Lancaster the finest town in the
state Everybody said, 1T is with
cities as with individuals, nothing ven
tured nothing won. Let us build a
lake, So the city of Lancaster voted
tax of ten thousand dollars (about
one-third more than we paid for the
McLimans legacy and not nearly as
much as we paid for our railroad) to be
used toward building lake. A man
who has an eye to the eternal fitness of
things went to the town spring factory
and followed the little creek down
through the bottoms past the creamery,
past Carriers bridge, past Mrs Murphy's,
through James Kilbourn S low meadows
to Pigeon bridge Right here at this
bridge is the place to build large dan"
he thought. Then he came back to the
city people and said, Let us buy up all
the hollow between the factory and
Pigeon bridge At the latter place the
hills come close together and we can
build strong dam at little cost. /
counted twenty good springs of water
on my way down that will feed into
the lake hollow and soon fill it with
water" Somebody asked, "How will
we manage about Carriers bridge?"
"We can grade the road higher with
rock foundations and build the bridge
up higher so that boats can pass under
il" answered the man of progressive
ideas.
The committee bought the land and
built dam. As soon as the dam was
started, business began to increase on
account of all our workmen getting
job and a number of other working men
from other towns coming in and getting
work for themselves and their teams.
These men spent their wages here and
business began to boom at the stores.
Small dykes had to be built across
some of the little ravincs leading into
the lake hollow and this gave the men
additional work. All the time the lake
was being built correspondents in Ian
caster were booming the scheme in the
city papers, so that the outside world
began to come in to see "what on earth"
we were doing, and our hotels were
crowded with people who had to be fed
from provisions bought at our stores,
The farmers got better prices for their
meats, butter, eggs and soil productions,
and consequently they had more money
to spend at the blacksmith and wagon
shops, at the dry goods stores, the har
ness shops, the lumber yards and the
paint shops. Jed Barnet and Reuben
Black added ten teams to their dray
lines to draw goods from the depot.
Tom Orton built large addition to his
warehouse to hold the stuff he bought
of and sold to the farmers. The car
penters were busy building hundreds of
houses for people who came to live in
and enjoy one of the brightest, health
lest, busiest little cities in the state of
Wisconsin. Business was already
booming and the lake project was only
well under way.

The Herald Omnibus,
The Lancaster Lake.

Wandering hither and thither, the
HERALD's all-around reporter heard
many plaintive questions. What can
we do 10 make Lancaster boom? What
to make it such desirable place to
live in that hundreds Of wealthy people
will be attracted to it to add to its i'm
portance and to spend their money with
us to the great advantage of themselves
and those already here? What can we
do to prevent the exit of our young
men into the West that now seems to
be offering them such great induce
ments? With the burden of these great
questions upon his soul, the "all-around'
laid himself down upon his humble cot
and dropped into a ftful slumber.

YES. TINT DID IT.

People stand aghast at Atlanta
wonderful progress and growth in
population, and are slow to account
for it. Most of the knowing ones say
the Constitution did it. That never
ceasing horn of Grady's and Howell
and larfis-that untiring crowd
about the paper-they did it, Yes,
that did it. But how was the Con-
stitution able to do it? BY the mu-
nificent advertising patronage given
it by her Doughertys, Ryans, Stew
ems, Jim Andersous, the Millers,
Chamberlalns, and the hundreds OF
other live and pushing merchants
and business men within her gates
this is why the Constitution can print
forty lagos in one issue, and hire
brains to fill them all with the
latest, brightest news and most at,
tractive reading. Oh yes the Con
stitution did it, is doing it, and will
keep on doing it as long as Atlanta
merchants are live and liberal men
Other towns can well profit by the
example Atlanta has given them
